Many congratulations to our CEO Demis Hassabis and colleague John Jumper at Google DeepMind, who were honoured this weekend with a Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for their work on AlphaFold. Read more here: bit.ly/3UhPlmO #AI #machinelearning
I love Alphafold! It may just reveal the location of a key factor on a giant complex for the first time, with high confidence score! #alphafold
Matthew Barnett Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ yeah alphafold didn't even solve protein folding, it is very much an approximation and it's not close to being 100% trustworthy. the only reason we use it is that empirically determining protein structure (by cryo EM or crystallography) is very painstaking.

xyx Ruxandra Teslo 🧬 Rohan 🌱 🇧🇷 Presumably it would mean a physics-driven description of folding. Alphafold is a statistical model of which sequences tend to coevolve and therefore which ones are likely associated in space. No actual folding is simulated.
It was fun sharing our work ❄️🐉 with the CSML community earlier this week! Also fun giving a guest lecture with the same title but different content ( #AlphaFold ++) this morning Princeton Chemistry
I'll be returning to MIT next Tues for a lecture on some combination of the above🤩
